Cell Biology conferences

Annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research at the Moscone West Convention Center, San Francisco, recognizing 25 years of discovery, collaboration, and progress in stem cell science.

This EMBO Workshop brings together researchers studying astrocytes from molecular mechanisms to systems-level brain functions. The programme covers astrocyte roles in synapse assembly, circuit modulation, homeostasis, metabolism, memory, behavior, the blood-brain barrier, interactions with neurons and glia, and emerging therapeutic strategies.

The American Association for Cancer Research's flagship annual meeting, themed 'Delivering Discovery Science: The Bridge to Breakthrough Therapeutics', at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

This Keystone Symposium examines how nerves and neural activity shape cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, cognition, and treatment, with a focus on actionable therapeutic targets.

A Keystone Symposium bringing together single-cell genomics, spatial biology, perturbation technologies, computational methods, and clinical translation across high-burden diseases.

Joint ASCB|EMBO meeting at the San Diego Convention Center bringing together the cell biology community to share scientific discoveries, network with colleagues across career stages, and explore new research areas and methodologies.

This EMBO | EMBL Symposium brings cancer researchers together to examine how tumours spread and resist treatment. Topics include circulating and metastasis-initiating cells, invasion, epigenetic regulation, dormancy, cellular plasticity, immune escape and the tumour microenvironment. The programme connects biological mechanisms with imaging, single-cell and spatial profiling, computational analysis and disease models. The event runs from 10 to 13 November 2026 at the EMBL Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg, with virtual participation available. Abstract submissions are closed. On-site registration closes on 29 September; virtual registration remains available until 3 November. Registration fees and the two booking routes are listed on the organizer page.

This EMBO Workshop examines how protein synthesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation shape health across the lifespan, connecting fundamental proteostasis mechanisms with ageing and degenerative disease.

An in-person Stanford symposium highlighting recent progress in brain resilience and aging research, followed by a neuroscience poster session featuring work from the Stanford community.

This EMBO–EMBL symposium connects the molecular machinery of DNA replication with genome stability and human disease. It examines replisome structure and dynamics, control of origin firing across tissues, chromatin and epigenome maintenance, chromosome organisation, replication-fork protection and repair, and the consequences of replication stress for development, ageing and cancer. The programme links mechanistic advances to cancer biology and possible therapeutic approaches. All programme times are Europe/Berlin. Opening remarks on 20 October begin at 13:30, followed by the keynote at 13:45. Scientific sessions begin at 09:00 on 21–23 October; closing remarks on 23 October run from 12:45 to 13:00. Virtual registration closes on 13 October; on-site registration and abstract submission have closed. Virtual fees are EUR 190 for PhD students, EUR 240 for academia and EUR 290 for industry. Attendance includes livestreams, questions and four weeks of recordings where speakers permit. Use the organizer’s virtual registration link on the event page.

This Stanford symposium examines how molecular, cellular, and circuit-level advances in neurodevelopment shape understanding of behavior and health, with scientific talks, awards, and a poster session.

This EMBO–EMBL symposium examines how messenger and non-coding RNAs transmit and regulate genetic information. It connects transcription, processing and modification, export and localisation, surveillance and decay, translation, and coupling between these processes. Sessions cover co-transcriptional and co-translational biology, RNA processing, RNP condensates, structure and regulation, and pathogens and therapeutics. The programme uses Europe/Berlin time: opening remarks on 13 October at 20:00, followed by the first keynote at 20:15; sessions begin at 09:00 on 14–15 October and 10:00 on 16 October, with closing remarks at 17:45. Virtual registration closes on 6 October; on-site registration and abstract submission have closed. Virtual fees are EUR 190 for PhD students, EUR 240 for academia and EUR 290 for industry. Virtual attendance provides livestreams, questions and four weeks of recorded talks, except recordings withheld by speakers. Use the organizer’s virtual registration link on the event page.

This EMBO Workshop connects organelle contact sites and cytoskeletal interactions with metabolism, signalling, and trafficking, and examines their relevance to neurodegeneration, cancer, and other diseases.

This Keystone Symposium brings structural and cellular biologists together to integrate cryo-electron microscopy, super-resolution and multiscale imaging, data science, computational modeling and deep learning. The programme connects molecular structure to tissue-level function and includes in-person, livestream and on-demand participation.

A three-day scientific symposium led by early-career scientists, combining invited talks, selected short talks, poster sessions, workshops, networking, and cross-disciplinary exchange in stem cell and developmental biology.

The inaugural Cascadia Mucosal Biology Symposium brings together mucosal biologists and immunologists to discuss mechanistic and translational research on health and disease at mucosal surfaces. Topics include tissue-immune crosstalk, microbial homeostasis, antigen-specific barrier responses, barrier development and repair, and translation to medicine.

The seventeenth EMBL conference on transcriptional regulation covers polymerase function, chromatin modification and remodeling, epigenetic inheritance, genome topology, condensates, development, disease, and quantitative methods.
